SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 34 out, this is Chapter 35 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Tieria/Sasha between Season One and Season Two. Allelujah/Marie and Lockon (Jr.)/Anew in Season Two.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 35: The Chosen Future

With Lockon and Ail...

Lockon forced Ail back with a swipe from his pistol. "You took my brother and family!" the sniper growled. 'You damn monster!"

"So, you're that guy's little brother?" Al snorted, clashing with Lockon with his anchor sword.

"So, what's wrong with that/' Lockon snapped, firing his pistol at Ail who moved to dodge the attack, the former mercenary striking with his anchor sword.

"It makes killing you even sweeter." Ail declared.

"What kind of psycho are you?" Lockon scowled and took out the Vier's head with the butt of his pistol.

"I'm just me!" Ail grinned manically, swatting Lockon aside.

"I'll kill you!" Lockon swore, firing his pistol at his hated foe at point-blank range.

In the Messiah command center...

"This can't be happening..." Copeland was stunned when the combined attacks of Allelujah, Marie and Nena took out the particle cannon after the majority of the fortress' turrets were destroyed. "Why?"

Near the Messiah command center...

Michael released his DRAGOON units at the corridor he was flying through, before using his twin beam sabers to finish the job of destroying the fortress from within.

Outside...

Tieria found an abandoned launch hatch and shot into the fortress.

In the Messiah abandoned command center...

Sasha and Michael entered the room, where Copeland and Ribbons were waiting for them.

With Michael covering her back, Sasha walked down the aisle to confront her two adversaries face-to-face. A single hand sign activated the second Curse Mark she branded Ribbons.

The green-haired Innovator clutched his chest at the Curse Mark took effect and he collapsed on the ground as a result of a sudden rupture of a blood vessel.

"Quite ruthless, my dear." Copeland noted, casting a disdained look at the dying Innovator. "Though, honestly, I didn't think you'll make it this far, Sasha Peacecraft. I see." he noticed the handgun Michael aimed at him. "But are you sure this is the right solution?" he raised at handgun at the pair. "Don't do it. We've made it this far; it is our right as descendants of past royalty to rule the world. If you do it, this world will once again fall into darkness and chaos. I am telling you the truth."

"You may be right." Sasha admitted. "But we have the ability to choose not to let that happen. Because we live in a world where choices are allowed."

"But no one ever makes that choice." Copeland snorted. "People forget and repeat the same mistakes. They say that they will not allow it to happen again: that the world wont' end up like this. But who can say that with certainty? Nobody can say that with certainty. Certainly not you, because no one really knows what lies ahead."

"We know that." Sasha argued. "We also know that we can learn to understand and that we can change things. That's why we want a tomorrow. No matter how much we suffer, we don't want a world where nothing changes."

"How arrogant." Copeland scoffed. "You're not of the Peacecraft lineage for nothing, I see."

"You're the one who's arrogant." Sasha glared. "I'm nothing more than a normal human being. Nothing about me is different from any other, and it's the same with the Innovators. However, that's why I cannot allow you to leave this place, because I know that."

"But between your world and the world I desire, which one would the people actually prefer?" Copeland questioned. "Supposing you shoot me now, what would you do if the world is thrown into chaos once again?"

"I'm ready for that." Sasha declared determinedly. "That's why I will fight."

"Sasha!" Tieria burst in, his handgun ready to defend his partner when a shot rang out and a bullet wound was clearly shown in the middle of Copeland 's chest.

"You..." Tieria turned to see Billy was the one who fired the shot. "Billy Katagiri..."

"Tieria Erde..." Michael lowered his gun and turned to the Seravee pilot.

"This place is falling apart!" Billy warned the youngsters. "We have to get out of here!"

With the Messiah collapsing from within, Michael and Tieria led Sasha out of the crumbling fortress, Billy having taken a different route to an escape shuttle.

Boarding the Zwei, Michael and Sasha took off with Tieria close behind.

In the Messiah docking bay, both the Ptolemaios II and Infinity had also exited the falling fortress as it fell apart.

With Lockon and Ail...

"What the hell is going on?" Ail snapped, as the explosions from the Messiah blew him off. "Che, that bastard got done in?"

Using his distraction, Lockon fired a direct shot at Vier's shoulder, taking it out.

"Damn it, move!" Ail tugged at his controls, only to find them not responding.

"I can't blame my brother for his actions." Lockon smiled, knowing he had won this fight. "There's no way this guy can be forgiven." and fired off four consecutive shots from his pistol and causing mobile suit to explode, taking its pilot with it.

Outside the crumbling Messiah...

"I have a declaration to make to all members of Celestial Being and Katharon forces in this area." Kati opened communications to both sides. "I have received word that the Federation has taken the rest of the Coalition members into custody and are currently making preparations to disband the A-LAWs. Following this, the Federation will request for all combat activities in restricted areas be stopped."

Shortly afterwards, on Earth...

"The Autonomous Peacekeeping Force which as guilty of numerous atrocities and the manipulation of information has been disbanded." the newly elected Federation President announced. "We will being to reorganize the Earth Sphere Federation Forces. I hereby declare that we shall do our utmost to provide aid for non-member nations and encourage them to join us, allowing us to work towards the establishment of a true Earth Sphere Federation. In order to achieve that, we will establish three major new initiatives: the first concerns energy. We will expand the solar power transmission cable network. And within ten years, we will finish an electrical transmission system that will cover the entire globe..."

After dropping Saji, Allelujah and Marie on Earth, both the Ptolemaios Ii and Infinity took off back to space.

"Let's go." Setsuna stated, on board the Ptolemaios. "We still have work to do."

"Setsuna's correct." Tieria was at the Infinity's weapons control. "We have to watch over the world that everyone gave their lives to change."

SailorStar9: And, we have only the epilogue, aka my version of the A Wakening of the Trailblazer movie which I probably would have to re-watch again, left before the end of this fic. Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just love plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
